Join Me on One of My Sea Bird Workshops at Barnegat this Winter
This winter, I am offering private and semi-private workshops at one of New Jersey’s best locations to photograph sea birds in the winter. Barnegat is well know among birders and photographers alike, and is perhaps the best place on the East Coast to photograph the beautiful and entertaining Harlequin Duck. Every year, Barnegat gets a handful of species within easy range for photography, including Harlequins, Longtailed Ducks, Common Loons, Brant, Gulls, Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin, and Ruddy Turnstone. Other possible species include Surf Scoter, Black Scoter, Double-crested Cormorant, Common Eider, Common Merganser, Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, Sanderling, possible Grebes and other sea ducks, and even Harbor Seal and Bottlenose Dolphin. Because the Barnegat Jetty can be a bit treacherous at times, class sizes will be limited to a maximum of three participants, in order to create a safe and productive atmosphere for learning. Please consider joining me for a day of shooting and photography instruction at Barnegat this winter. More information can be found on my website or by emailing me.
Below is a small collection of images I have taken at Barnegat over the past few years. As you can see, the possibilities at this location are fantastic!

Kari,
Great set of images and good luck with the workshops. I was out studying Scaup this morning and I believe your Mystery Scaup is a Greater. The back of the head is more rounded without a noticable peak that typically is visible in the Lesser. Also, the sheen of the plumage is greenish (right behind the eye) rather than purplish, also indicating Greater. Nice work.
